had so far witnessed. Removing hi
hat, with the utmost GOODNESS, O'BrieI
surveyed the vast sea of faces before
him for a moment. He began annie

follows: Men OF Toronto; (Cries OF
GOD save the Queen "Hurrah for
Lansdowne," groans and immense
cheering) That cheer OF yours will
ring around the world to-day (cheers
and hisses), and all the vocal talents OF
Lord Lansdowne's friends cannot
drown it. We are used to this sor Of
thing in the British Parliament Loud
cheer; another voice "Humph fol-
o Brien," tremendous cheers and
groaning). Here an Orangeman drew
forth heavy stick and hit a man
with it. knocking him down.
Then there was a rush caused by the
policemen, and the crowd scattered in
all directions, many persons rushing for
big heaps of bricks which were piled up
in field close by. They came again
whether with bricks or not, did not i'm
medlstely appear. Mr.. O'Brien con-
tinued: | am glad to see that although
Lsnsdowne has nothing to say himself,
he has friends who are able to say some
thing, God help us. (Derisive laughter
cheers and groan.) We come to Canada
to demand an answer from either Lord
Lansdowne or his friends. Here are
his friends (groans and hisses), two
dozen of thsm. (groans. cheers an
cries of Bra I'D o Brien,") whom good
policeman could knock out in
few minutes. (cbesrs) if he only
wanted to, and the only answer they
can give for the high and mighty po-
tentate who has sent them here is cack-
ling like geese, or groans of the iacksss.
Loud laughter and cheers.) They at
tempted to shout down freedom OF
speaking here to-day. (Grosns and
cheers.) Well, we generally succeediin
putting down our enemies in the House
of Commons, (cheers). and We will pro-
coed in putting them down here to-day !!
Tremendous applsuse) l don't blame
the poor, deluded Orangemen, who are
making this fight to-day. (Here man
was knocked down by the blow of a
stick. and prize fight followed among
dismal how'll We to-day are a party
of law and order, and we defy
anybody to deny it. CHEERS and
groans. Several voices cried, Brand

your back" shouted another and 1.-THE
heart o. Canada" cried another. A man
from the Orangemen party here got in
front of the platform among the nation
alists and began singing The Boyne
Water" His silk hat was crushed by
those around him, and he disappeared
under the platform bruised and bloody,
where he lay during the remainder OF
the day. Il have Often" continued

more musical than that of the
miserable and misguided wretches
who came here to destroy that freedom
of spec ca which they boast they love so
much. (Derisive lsughter.) If they
have got anything to say for Lansdowne,
let their best man come on this platform
and I will guarantee him 8 hearing

Queen because they are in the wrong;
We are right, because We have truth and
justice on our side. cloud and prolonged
applause, mingled with Kisses and
grosning.) This demonstration takes
the last sod from under Lansdowne's
feet, for by it he confesses that he has
no better answer to our terrible ar
raignment than rowdyism, black
guardlsm, vulgarity and ignorance of
this wretchsd ami despicsble crew.
Loud cheers.) l am not at all sorry
that the gentlemen of the Toronto
corporation have broken their contract,
IS Lord Lansdowne broke his and have
refused US the hospitality of st. An
drew's Hall. There is one hall, thank
God, from which they cannot shut Us
out. This is the open vault of heaven,
which the Great Architect of the
Universe has built, and we have
tale to tell of which We need not be
afraid or ashamed to tell in the free air
of heaven and in the open light OF the
day. One thing is now, think, GER
tain, and that is that the Csnadians de
mand an answer to the specific and ter.
ribls accusations we have made against
him. An answer there must be, or
Lord Lsndsdowne will stand con-
demned; an answer very different from
vague platitudes with which he fills his
letter in the Toronto papers to-day.
(Groans;) 1 think nobody realizes more
keenly than Lord Landsdowne to-day
that the frothy declarations Of
the orators at Saturdays meeting
is not an answer which will save Lord
from the condemnation OF
and liberty-loving men.
Here the speaker said that Rev. &. K.
Kane had been allowed in Toronto to
denounce home rule, and continued:
But would like to point out that the
of the Orangemen of To-
ronto on home rule did not prevail with
the Canadian Parliament or the Ca
madam people. (Applause.l
They were rejected and reversed by
Canadian public opinion, and so ven
ture to say that the the orators OF Sat.
urdsy fail now, as. the Rev. Mr.. Kane
failed then. Time will tell that the
upshot of Saturdays meeting was a
vote of confidence in the Tory coer-
zion government of Lori Salisbury;
that government whose cruel and
sbominable coercion bill had just been
condemned by the Canadian Parlla-
nent by q decisive and overwhelmi g
majority. A vote OF confidence in. Lord
Salisbury Could We possibly desire
more convincing proof of how COM
oletely are our opponents out OF sym
oathy with the vast masses OF tie
canadian people? As for the epithets,
